Chapter Seventy-Six: Serving as the Execution Demon
Slowly retracting his magic, the pitch-black chill around him dissipated.
When Roy was about to take the soul of the slain demon into his pocket, all of a sudden, the water of the quenching pool, which was originally just a bubbling bubble, suddenly rolled up, forming a whirlpool, and this whirlpool with a strong suction force actually sucked in the soul light clusters scattered around!
It all came so quickly that Roy didn't expect such a vision to appear, so much so that it was too late to snatch the soul back.
At the same time, Roy felt a powerful force acting on him, it was the power of the enchantment! Roy and Fat Tiger were both repelled by the power of this enchantment, and they were suddenly catapulted out of the tempering place.
He was bounced out of one of the demonic doors, and as soon as he stepped out of the barrier, the power suddenly dissipated, and Roy and Fat Tiger fell to the ground.
The mid-ranking demons wandering around the periphery of the Tempering Land looked at Roy and Fat Tiger who were bounced out with puzzled expressions, and they didn't know what was going on.
But at this moment, as if they sensed something, these mid-rank demons howled and fled in all directions.
At this moment, Roy had just gotten up from the ground, but he saw that on the door of the evil ghost that he flew out, the eyes of the evil ghost actually lit up, emitting a scarlet light, and the door of the evil ghost seemed to come to life at this moment!
With the scarlet light lit up, a powerful force, or will, descended on this demon door, and Roy once again felt the same power as Serren, so he knew that it must be the will of some superior demon that was linked to this demon door.
"Ho ho ho! Look, another challenger has appeared! ”
The demon gate made a sound, and the scarlet eyes stared at Roy, making the demon's face look like a smile rather than a smile.
"My lord, ...... you?" Knowing that the other party was a high-ranking demon, Roy didn't dare to be careless, but fortunately, when he was with Selren, he practiced a false respect for the high-ranking demon, so he showed a humble and puzzled expression without a trace.
"My name is Adrah! Superior Demon! The voice said, "Servants under the command of the Demon Lord Lord Lord Logellos!" Boy, don't you know that in this place of refinement, killing is forbidden in the enchantment? ”
"Lord Adrah, I don't know!" Roy replied, "They're going to do it to me, there's no way I'm going to stand and let them attack, right?" ”
"Hmph, I'm not interested in hearing this kind of argument about who is right and who is wrong!" Aedrah said: "For thousands of years, there have also been many demons in the Enchantment of the Tempering Land, who can't hold back their killing instincts and kill other demons. What I do is what I do, I never care who is right and who is wrong! ”
"Okay!" Roy sighed softly and asked, "So, Lord Adrah, are you here to kill me, a rule-breaker?" ”
As he spoke, Roy prepared to use his flashing skills.
But, what he didn't expect was that Adrach let out a laughing voice and said, "Kill you? Why? ”
"Huh? Didn't you say I broke the rules? Roy said with some confusion.
"Hmph, in the pool of this quenching place, there is the demonic blood of the Lord of Logellos, and the rules here are also set by the Lord King!" Adrah said, "You have indeed broken the rules set by the Maharaja! However, chaos and killing are the rules of the demon world, so you can't say that you are completely wrong! ”
"What does that mean?" Roy was a little confused, what was this Adrah trying to express?
"Damn, you guys who have just been promoted from the lower demons are just trouble!" Adrach's voice sounded a little impatient, and he said, "Listen, I'll only say it once!" Don't you understand? After becoming a median demon, you should also have the status you deserve! Unlike those low-ranking demons like ants, after knowing how to use magic, you have also become a qualified warrior! So in some things, you can also get the opportunity you deserve! ”
"Killing in the enchantments of the Tempered Lands is indeed not allowed, because if all demons do this, it will cause the number of mid-rank demons to decrease significantly!" Aedrah continued: "But the nature of demon killing is like this, so even the demon lord can't be harsh, since you survived the siege, then it means that you are the most powerful one in the enchantment at that time, and the warriors, you should be duly praised!" ”
Now, Roy really understood.
Warriors deserve to be celebrated, and in turn, weakness is the greatest original sin! The meaning is obvious, although Roy broke the rules, but does Adrach still want to get justice for those poor creatures who were killed?
Impossible, the demon has no mercy in the first place, and it is impossible to have the idea of sympathizing with the weak.
From the perspective of the ruling class, although Roy did break the rules, they preferred this kind of bravery that stood out! Because it means that another powerful demon warrior has been born.
At this moment, Roy finally realized the changes brought about by his promotion, in this abyss world, there is no one in the lower demon...... Well, the ruler of the demon power can't even reach the lower demons, but once he reaches the middle demon level, he will immediately get the attention he deserves.
This is a very obvious class discrimination, the more powerful the demon, the more power it has to break the rules, and even as long as your strength is strong enough, you can also set the rules in reverse!
Roy felt that he really couldn't measure the demon's attitude towards certain things by his own human mind......
"I see!" Roy nodded and said, "Lord Adrah, thank you for your attention!" ”
"Well, it's good to understand, it seems that you are not stupid either!" Adrakhe's voice sounded very satisfied, and the clever demon also saved him more than he had to speak, and said: "Warriors should be given the power they deserve, but this kind of behavior is not worth advocating after all, so you still have to be punished, Lord Lojelos has no time to pay attention to these small things, and I will announce the decision on your punishment: you must carry out a execution mission!" ”
"Execution mission?"
"Yes! Execution, but not you, but you! Go and kill Lord Logerloth's goal! "The task is difficult, because this kind of goal, the strength is often higher than your own, if you can successfully complete the execution, then after you come back, Lord Lojelos will give you the reward you deserve......"
"So, if I can't kill the target, but is killed by the target, it will be my punishment for breaking the rules, right?" Roy can see through it at all.
"That's right!" Aedrakh said: "Execution and being executed depends on whether your strength is really strong, I hope you will not be a demon who only knows how to bully the weak......"
As Adrah spoke, a black ball of light also appeared in front of Roy, and in that ball of light, a thumb-thick crystal was wrapped, and the crystal was suspended in front of Roy, and Adrah said: "This is a memory crystal, which has the information of the target of your execution mission, and you can read it after entering the magic power, remember, you only have one year to complete this execution mission...... Once you're done, you can come to me here! ”
After speaking, on the Demon Gate, the power of Adrah's will gradually dissipated, and the scarlet gaze of the Demon Gate gradually dimmed.
Roy didn't touch the engram for the first time, but shook his tail slightly in place and thought about it.
He didn't expect that after he had just been promoted to a mid-rank demon, he encountered such an incident, and from Adrah's words, Roy sensitively discovered some information.
Demon Lord, that is the existence of a higher demon than the upper level, this place of refinement, it seems that it is also built with the blood of the demon lord, and the shallow abyss world has a laissez-faire attitude towards the lower demons, these demon ruler strata seem to have consciously done some management of the middle abyss world, but, after all, this is not the world where the upper demons and demon lords live, so they can only carry out their will through this way of power descending.
When Roy first entered this mid-level abyss world, he was ignorant, and he did break the rules set by the demon lord, but in the eyes of the ruling class, this was still within the scope of tolerance, after all, the demon lord who set up the place of refining specially made an enchantment, and immediately expelled the demons in the enchantment after the pool water contained the soul, which showed that they had long expected such a situation to happen, so they only punished him.
Of course, rules are indeed tolerable and intolerable, if Roy was killing in the place where the little demon was born on the surface, he would definitely be killed, and it would not be tolerated at all.
And it's more like a punishment than an opportunity, because this mission is for Roy to hunt down other demons as a torture demon, not for other demons to hunt him down, and he didn't even make a demon contract with Roy, and the time was very lenient.
If you can complete the task, there will be a reward, this mode is like a mercenary accepting the task, no matter how you look at it, it looks like giving Roy a chance.
Well...... It can't be said that it is only for Roy, listening to what Edrah means, there have been many demons who have broken the rules in the Land of Tempering before, so this way of dealing with Roy may have also been carried out on other demons.
This situation, coupled with the words "warrior" revealed in and out of Edrah's words, made Roy wonder if this was the Demon Lord cultivating his own army.
The so-called lord refers to one that has its own jurisdiction, and generally speaking, there can not be only one lord, even the lords of the human race and the lords will fight against each other, let alone between the demon lords, so Roy feels that this middle-level abyss world is actually the source of the demon lords' soldiers!
Chaos, killing, war...... Tsk, this kind of world melody is really a headache, these demons, won't they be bored?
Shaking his head, Roy took the engram floating in front of him and entered his mana, intending to check what kind of mission goal he had given him......
